Mystery is a delicious ingredient, but at the 2008 Royal Shakespeare Company Symposium now in progress at Davidson College, there are layers within layers of mystery – enough to bewilder the Bard himself! The RSC will be presenting a “Work-in-Progress” at Duke Family Performance Hall, but the Symposium brochure doesn’t specify the title of the new theater work or all the performance times. Besides the time listed in the brochure, Feb. 15 at 7:30 p.m., you can also catch performances of this ticketed event on Saturday, Feb. 16 at 7:30 p.m., and Sunday, Feb. 17 at 2 p.m. You may have heard about the other ticketed biggie, playwright Edward Albee’s Keynote Address, “The State of Theatre and the Arts in America,” also at Duke Family. That free ticketed event is scheduled on Feb. 16, 10:30 a.m. to noon. For ticket info, visit www.davidson.edu/tickets . Symposium info is at www.davidson.edu/shakespeare.
